Mission:

We believe all students can learn. Our responsibility is to ensure students acquire knowledge, skill, and capability to function

effectively as lifelong learners and responsible citizens.

Philosophy:

Unified School District #287 is organized to provide a comprehensive elementary, middle and secondary education, which will meet the needs of every child.

The school district will strive to instill in each student: a positive self-image, self-discipline, self-respect for others and their property, a sense of patriotism and a respect for authority.

The school district will provide a curriculum that enables individuals to think creatively, critically, and constructively, and to recognize and solve problems logically.

The school district will provide the best personnel and facilities within its means to meet the needs of all students.

The school district will emphasize that each student’s family has a major role in training and educating their children. The district acknowledges that it cannot replace the family but does commit itself to assist each family in the maturing and educating processes that will enable each child to function as effective and responsible citizens.
